Collaboration with fellow soundclouder Take One of Legion VA ( http://soundcloud.com/takeone-1 )
Another prophetic story, mental projection of a not so distant future when the zombie outbreak finally happened and the world is a sad beautiful place. And to think it all started with bath salts... :p
LYRICS
Bath Salts
VERSE 1 :
The time will come for all the soldiers to know unity
To wash away the blood dropped for the sake of vanity
To celebrate the fact we all saw clearly on that day :
Fear not when the evil comes, but when it's here to stay !
We wasted generations of our kind to feed the silence
We spent so much money on sour wine to slake our violence
We had to pay the bill with spilled guts and chills
And cheap narcotics pills but even, still, this is not the worst deal
Enemy of my enemy i am my own anemia
A permanent manipulation of the mind but minimal,
Just enough to turn us all back into mean animals
Eating each other's face in the alleys of many malls
It's the bath salts they say ! But really, it's everywhere
It's in the coffee that you drink, in the lipstick you wear
It's in the joint that you smoke, the beer that you share
And tell me when did you stop breathing the air ?
CHORUS :
If you don't know if a person is dead
Check for bath salts and chop off his head
Just like the flowers will attract the bees,
The smell of your life will only bring zombies
VERSE 2 :
It's been 18 months since we last heard the radio
Everyday i walk back and forth on the patio
Looking for a sign that the coast is clear
But the black smoke in the distance is telling me that the dead are still near
I got a few families with me to protect the best i can
They trust me cos i took care of the group that was chasing them
I never asked for anything, no heroism
I'm an inmate promoted warden of the prison.
I never wanted to be good, never wanted to be nice
Until the day i saw my son in front of me eating my wife
I can still feel his neck as i snapped it off
But seeing the look on his face is the part that's real tough
I wonder how many of us are still surviving like this
Is there any happiness or are we already lost ?
My thoughts are singing out of hope
Just another silly song
My kid learned it at school
Before things turned wrong :
CHORUS :
If you don't know if a person is dead
Check for bath salts and chop off his head
Just like the flowers will attract the bees,
The smell of your life will only bring zombies
